f Catt. bicolor. _Monica._--Snow-white. Petals broad, sepals strongly depressed. In the middle of the spreading crimson lip is a patch almost white. _Tautziana._--Sepals mauve, petals violet, somewhat darker, lip almost maroon. It is singular in shape also, forked like a bird's tail. _Blenheimensis._--Sepals and petals rose with a violet tinge; very broad labellum with a distinct neck, emerging from a short tawny tube--carmine in the throat, purplish at the edges. _Macroloba._--The lobes here are white and enormous. Enormous also is the lip, and singularly beautiful, deepest crimson at the throat, with a broad purple margin netted over with crimson lines. _Juno._--This also has a very large white tube. Sepals and petals rosy, rather slender, fine crimson lip. _Matuta._--Large, broad and shapely. Sepals greenish, with a pink tinge, petals rosy-tawny. Tube very short, lip brightest crimson, standing out clear as a flag. _Minerva._--One of the most spreading, but thin. Colour rose, the petals darker. Narrow sepals. Tube white. Lip carmine. _Princess Stephanie._--Sepals bright green, petals slightly green, edged with pale purple, and crimson lines. Bright lip after the model of Catt. bicolor. _Amphion._--A dark variety. The long lip has two eyes like Catt. gigas. _Beatrice._--A hybrid of L.e. Schilleriana and L. purpurata, remarkable for its lip, long and shovel-shaped, nearly the same breadth throughout. _Morreniana._--Sepals dullish red purple--the lower strongly bowed, as are the wide petals of similar hue. The lip spreads on either side of the white tube like the wings of a purple-crimson butterfly. _Mrs. Mahler._--A hybrid--Catt. Leop. x Catt. bicolor. Very small but very pretty. Sepals palest green, petals almost white, tinged with pink at the edges. The shovel-shaped lip pinkish crimson. _Euracheilas._--Sepals dusky stone-colour, edged with pink, petals all dusky pink. Very large but narrow. The maroon-crimson lip extends at right angles from the tube, without any neck. _Schilleriana._--The variety most clearly allied to L. purpurata. White or palest rose of sepal and petal, the latter marked with purplish lines at the base. Lip a grand purple-crimson, fading sharply towards the edges. _Weathersiana._--Sepals palest tawny suffused with rose, petals mauve. The broad lip of fine colour is so strongly indented that it resembles the bipennis of the Amazons. _Euspatha._--Reichenbach sugge
